The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be allowed to resume construction of the Heber Valley Temple while residents challenge the construction in a lawsuit. A group of Heber residents filed a lawsuit against the temple’s construction, which was dismissed by a district court’s ruling. The residents then appealed against the district court’s ruling and a district court judge approved an injunction halting construction while the appeal moved forward. The Utah Supreme Court unanimously ruled the residents failed to show how they would be “irreparably harmed” if the construction were to continue. Justice Paige Peterson shared that if the Church were to lose on appeal they may incur both the cost of construction and the cost of restoring the site to its prior condition, but that “it is willing to take on that risk.”
